Since we have experienced an influx of new members over the past week, I wanted to take a moment to thank & welcome everyone that has recently signed up. I also wanted to once again thank everyone that believed in us early on and helped us grow into what you see here today. It has taken a village.
For those just now checking us out, here are some links that I think you’ll find helpful:
The MMA Community Standards | The MMA Community Forum
EASY GUIDE TO POSTING HERE! | The MMA Community Forum
Do we have an app? | The MMA Community Forum
Now…my take on what is going on at other places. And I hope that I can offer my thoughts on the situation, without offending anyone in the process.
For years, I personally watched people complain about the same issues. Hell, I too had many of these same complaints…which is why TMMAC exists today.
* The site being Influenced or owned by the UFC
* Topics censored and/or deleted
* The owners don't care
* Lack of communication by ownership & the mods
* Rogue Mods, Nazi Mods, Mods that show favoritism, lack of consistency in Moderating
* People being banned w/out explanation
* The staff doesn't respond to PM's or emails
* The karma system sucks
* The sites being overrun by trolls and idiots
* All of the fighters have been ran off by trolls and idiots
* Many of the good posters have been ran off by trolls and idiots
* The site crashing
* The app needs to be fixed
* The technology is outdated
* The only site where members have to pay to post content
* Etc, etc, etc
One thing that I have noticed however is, some of the people that are still complaining about these things, signed up here at one time, but for whatever reason chose to go back there...only to complain some more because these issues still apparently haven’t been addressed. I hope those TMMAC members will someday return. I also hope that all of the new members that are signing up, will stick around w/ an open mind, participate, and help us grow TMMAC into the baddest MMA forum on the planet.
Am I asking people to only visit TMMAC? The opposite actually. I would encourage everyone to visit multiple forums, and ultimately choose which one they feel offers them the best experience.
I’m excited to see that more & more are embracing change. I know it’s tough to leave a place where you have met so many good people & built friendships over the years. What I would suggest is, move those existing friendships here & build some new one’s along the way.
Lastly, I know that due to everything that is going on, people are going to want to vent. I say, vent away…get it out of your system & then let’s continue making this place great. The only thing I would ask is, use the existing threads already created, to do so. This way, we don’t flood TMMAC with dozens of threads about other forums.
